Dr. Zager (Japanese: ゼーゲル博士 Dr. Seger) is a Team Rocket scientist, who made his debut in Scraggy-Hatched to be Wild!.
History
After the Team Rocket trio stole a meteorite from the Nacrene Museum in The Battle According to Lenora! by switching the real meteorite with a fake one, the trio encountered Pierce with Dr. Zager in Scraggy-Hatched to be Wild!. They gave the meteorite to the doctor, who analyzed it and found out that the meteorite contained materials not found on their planet.
He made another appearance in A Venipede Stampede! with Jessie, James, Meowth and Pierce in a helicopter above the Desert Resort, where they finally found the meteorite.
Following the events of Battling For The Love of Bug-Types!, Zager appears to have taken on a commanding officer role in relation to Jessie, James and Meowth. In Scare at the Litwick Mansion!, he appeared on a video call speaking to them, advising them of the danger posed by the Litwick inhabiting the Litwick Mansion. He claimed to have done extensive research on the Pokémon.
Zager is mentioned by Jessie and James in Gotta Catch A Roggenrola!, and actually makes a cameo appearance in Where Did You Go, Audino? as an overhead vision when Jessie and James were discussing their plans for their captured Audino.
In Archeops In The Modern World!, he coordinated Jessie and James's collection of the Dream Energy from Fennel's experiment.
He appeared in BW046, where he warned Jessie and James to beware of Subway Boss Ingo and his brother Emmet. Zager then appeared in BW047 and BW048, where for the first time, he took on the role of direct antagonist. After scrambling the electronics of Nimbasa City and shutting down Driftveil Drawbridge, he appeared in a helicopter and attempted to capture the subway car containing all of the stolen Pokémon using a claw attached to his helicopter. However, he was thwarted when Pikachu broke the claw with Electro Ball, forcing him to flee and order Jessie, James and Meowth to withdraw.
